Electroactive and Optically Adaptive Bionanocomposite for Reconfigurable Microlens
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
This paper introduces an electroactive bionanocomposite based on poly(diethylene glycol adipate) (PDEGA) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). The bionanocomposites were made using CNCs extracted from cotton and by optimizing ...
Simple, Reversible, and Fast Modulation in Superwettability, Gradient, and Adsorption by Counterion Exchange on Self-Assembled Monolayer
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
A simple fabrication method for preparation of surfaces able to switch from superhydrophobic to superhydrophilic state in a reversible and fast way is described. A self-assembled monolayer (SAM) consisting of quaternary ...
Two-stage cultivation of N-rich and N-deprived Acutodesmus obliquus biomass: Influence of cultivation and dewatering methods on microalgal biomass used in anaerobic digestion
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Microalgae can be manipulated to accumulate certain cellular compounds of interest without the need for genetic modification - simply by controlling growth parameters such as nitrogen (N). Therefore, A. obliquus was ...
Flocculation and viscoelastic behavior of industrial papermaking suspensions
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Article)
The effects of the surface charge type and density C496, C492 and A130LMW polyacrylamides (PAMs) on the rheological behavior of real industrial papermaking suspensions were quantitatively related to the degree of flocculation ...
Synthesis of mesoporous carbons with controlled morphology and pore diameters from SBA-15 prepared through the microwave-assisted process and their CO2 adsorption capacity
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Mesoporous carbon materials (CMK-3-T-MW) with high surface area, different pore diameters and rod shaped morphology were synthesized via nanocasting technique using the SBA-15 templates prepared by ultra-fast microwave-assisted ...
